Take a break from your doomscrolling by sharing a silly fact or tip that you know. I'll go first: Fountain pen nibs have trace amounts of machining oil on them when you open the packet up. Stick the nib in a potato for a few hours to soak up the oils. Your nib will work great.

The Unix command "grep" gets it's name from the "ed" command-line editor which had a command for displaying matched patterns: "g" (for "global"), followed by a regular expression ("re"), followed by "p" (for "print").
